There aren't many who will turn away a candied nut of any kind, but we're willing to bet your friends and family will be asking for more after they taste your pumpkin pie pecans. Made with agave (though you can use granulated sugar) they have a little less guilt and pack a serious holiday punch and crunch!

Instructions

1. Gather Ingredients: This recipe isn't difficult to put together, but it does have lots of little spices. You can substitute an equal amount of pumpkin pie spice, but since we already have all the individual ingredients on hand, this was more cost effective.

2. Separate Egg: The egg white will help things stick together and spread out the agave to all the pieces. Add it to a medium mixing bowl.

8. Shake: Shake nuts to unstick them from each other. If it's easier, toss them back in a plastic bag for kids to help shake things up. Allow to cool on baking sheet, parchment paper or even silpat. Nuts first out of the oven will be sticky, but after a 15 minute cool down will harden up and taste wonderful

Additional Notes:Add salt to taste after the nuts have cooled. If nuts are eaten directly out of the oven their flavors won't taste quite right and seasoning them could have a negative effect once they're all the way cool. So hold your horses and do something else for a few minutes before sampling and snacking!
